Another Bloggy Giveaway
The last time I participated in the Bloggy Giveaway, I was overwhelmed with responses from people telling me the most bizarre details about themselves, often-body part-related, like a missing toenail, or the like.
So for this Bloggy Giveaway, I’ve decided to make you work for it a little bit more. If you would like to be entered into a giveaway for a $20 Amazon gift certificate (I will email the gift code, so international participants are welcome), then you must link up to my blog on your blog – please use the main blog URL (http://allrileyedup.com) and leave a comment with the permalink.
If you don’t have a blog but still want to participate, you can either subscribe, Stumble, or Digg this, and leave a comment letting me know.
If you do both of these things, then, obviously that’s two entries (double double your enjoy-oy-oy-ment!).
If you don’t want to do any of this and you still leave a comment, hey, be my guest, but if I draw your name, you will never know…
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh, and please, leave me another interesting detail about your life in the comments. Those were fun to read!

Okay — here goes:
1) I can still stand on my head, but I’m sort of old now, so it’s getting a little scary. I think I’ll have to stop one of these days.
2) I can kick really well — higher than my head, and I’m tall.
3) I’ve shaken hands with Bill Cosby and Bobby Kennedy.
4) My kids’ first words were in Japanese.
5) I can touch my tongue to my nose.
(Do I get extra chances for five whole things?)
1. Yes I admit it I have become ADDICTED to entering Sweepstakes and Contests. Yes, I am a Sweeper!
2. I went to the same high school at Sylvester Stallone and tried on his boxing trunks, robe & gloves from the first Rocky movie
3. My uncle is an Elvis Presley impersonator
4. My second cousin was in the movie Grease-Didi Cohn
I hope these are good enuff to win this prize. Thanks for the giveaway!!

I subscribed by email. I named my miniature dachshund after a rat…Templeton from Charlotte’s Web
I guess you must be down a ways. I haven’t gotten to you yet. But I did get the email since I’m subscribed and have been for a while. I’ve got you linked on my blog now too (no button?) at http://themomnerd.blogspot.com. On my giveaway I asked that question too (probably got the idea from you a few carnivals ago) and there are definitely some weird ones out there. I never thought about what I would say though. Hmmm, I’m a mommy of twins?
I hate cleaning house and wish I had a maid…I love horror movies and books (at 50 years old)

I’m not very interesting but another interesting fact is that I absolutely LOVE doing the Pythagorean Theorem. It’s just something I loved to do in math class…weird, I know..
I’ve linked: http://bunnymoney9.blogspot.com/2009/01/even-more.html

I have subscribed.thanks
herry123_us@live.com
I have you at the TOP of my blogroll, so that has to count for something, right? Also I subscribe to you in google reader. Also, I read all your posts and leave the occasional snide comment and still blame you for the fact that my kids are likely to tell me, “You’re the most beautiful mom in the room,” which you must admit is a rather weak compliment
Interesting fact: um…I’m kind of boring. I asked Donn. He said, “You have hidden depths–so hidden, they’re lost.” Does that count? Also I had 3 kids in 2 years. I had planned to have 2 kids in 3 years, but I was never very good at math.
Also, my internet connection is spotty these days, so please forgive me for not posting the link. It really is there! You’re in America; go see!
Great giveaway! I am a subscriber.
I can make two babies at the same time.
Interestingly enough I met you at the pinewood derby. Well, OK, it was the blog carnival version, but still… And it was then I decided to add you to my blogroll anyway, so there. :p
Oh, and I have this penchant for killing my baby piggie toes by stubbing & maiming them in the most unusual ways… Like the time I tore off a chunk of flesh on the fishtank.

Not sure how interesting this is, but I’m psyched about it — I just won a trip to experience a zero-gravity flight and to compete for the chance to win a suborbital flight sometime next year. Lance Bass, eat your heart out — I might become an astronaut for a day! : )
